SAFETY-FRAZUR Specification of Letters Patent.

' wanted Sept. 4, 1906.

filed April 26, 1904:; Serial No. 2062,9 20.

To all 1071mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, EnNsr Sormnrr, manufacturer, residing at 18 Fahrgasse, Franle forton-tl1e-Main, German lhnpirc, have in vented new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to safety-razors, and more especially to the means whereby the razor-blade is clamped in the casing.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a safety-razor embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.

a is the casin made in the usual Way.

1' is the razorlade, which is pressed against the casing by clamps.

f g are the two arms of a bell-crank lever pivoted at the point 0 to the casing. This bell-crank lever is provided at the end 5 with a I8SS8I-1Oll7t, which forms a practicallyunyielding stop to facilitate the placing of the blade into its working position. The end of the lever-arr i g is screw-threaded and carries a pressiiw-screw d. This screw extends through a hole h in the casing and is provided with a head m to allow its turning, by an appropriate key. By this arrangenient of the screw head m at the rear side of the casing it is easily accessible, and yet does not protrude at a place Where it could interfere with the Working of the razor.

The roller n forms ii practically-unyielding stop,-liiniting the forward movement or" the blade 7" when the same is inserted, and thus accuratelyo determining the position of the blade relatively to the casing. By means of the adjusting-screw (Z the position ofythe prcsser-roll or stop-roll n may be varied so as to allow the blade r to be pushed farther forward when its edge has been reduced by grinding.

1 am aware that set-screws have been aplied. to one-armed levers in safety-razors and that bell crank levers have been used before my invention, especially in connection with springs; but

What 1 claim as my invention, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is the following:

1. In safety-razor, the combination of the rear side of the casing and a pressingscrew protrudin through the rear Wall of the casin and having a head which bears against said wall.

In testimony whereoi I have signed my narhe to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
